The No. 1 spot in HLTV’s international CS:GO rankings seems to be haunted since two totally different groups that held the highest spot have now been eradicated in stunning style from the IEM Rio Major.
Crew Vitality, who had simply reached the No. 1 spot within the rankings after their Challengers Stage efficiency, acquired knocked out within the Legends Stage by ENCE immediately with a 1-3 file, lower than two hours after HLTV up to date its rankings. The replace moved Vitality up one spot to first whereas shifting FaZe all the way down to second.
The replace to the rankings occurred sooner or later after FaZe’s gorgeous 0-3 elimination from the Main, the worst efficiency by a reigning champion within the Swiss stage period. FaZe’s drop from first to second within the rankings had nothing to do with their Legends Stage efficiency for the reason that replace solely took under consideration the outcomes of the Challengers Stage, however they have been the primary of two totally different No. 1 groups to get knocked out of the identical Main, and they’ll probably tumble additional within the rankings after the following replace.
Each Vitality and FaZe did not reside as much as the expectations of top-ranked groups throughout their Legends Stage run. FaZe’s in-game chief Karrigan has claimed responsibility for the loss since, nevertheless it was an total poor effort from the Antwerp champions: only ropz and Twistzz produced positive numbers of their elimination loss to Unhealthy Information Eagles.
Vitality seemed lifeless in opposition to ENCE. Not a single participant on the roster stacked with legends produced a optimistic Ok/D within the collection and nobody on Vitality had a solution for the intense SunPayus, who almost produced twice as many kills as he had deaths.
